Tomb Raider: I, at the beginning, took Fatty Lao Hu as my younger brother

The shopkeeper was very shocked. He didn't expect Zhou Xun to be so selfless and make such a choice.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Zhou Xun with admiration. If the imperial seal belonged to him, he might not necessarily donate it. In other words, it would be difficult for most people to resist the temptation of such a national treasure.

"Okay, we support you!"

"But I think before donating it, we should first call together the appraisal masters from the government and the public to appraise the imperial seal together, so that the donation will be meaningful!"

Shirley Yang was very smart and immediately told the following problem and solution.

"Well, this is not difficult. Apart from anything else, in the antique industry, if I issue a call for action, no one will refuse to give me face."

"Then let Dongfang confirm the list of names to be summoned when he returns!"

Zhou Xun thought about it and decided to do it.

"Master Zhou, I believe that this incident will be a major event that will shock the entire country in the antique and historical culture industry. This time, I'm afraid that many people will admire the choice you made from the bottom of their hearts!"

The shopkeeper still looked at Zhou Xun with admiration and told the truth.

"Haha, there will definitely be some people who call me stupid!" Zhou Xun said indifferently.

"Summer insects cannot talk about ice!" said the shopkeeper seriously.

"Okay, I won't say any more. I'm leaving now. I didn't expect to gain so much by coming here!"

"By the way, your name will be on the list of people to be called up this time. I'll have someone notify you when everything is ready!"

Zhou Xun picked up the wooden box containing the imperial seal on the table. After he finished speaking, he took Shirley Yang, Yingzi and the four ferocious beasts and left.

...........................................

evening!

Zhou Xun, Shirley Yang, Yingzi and the four fierce beasts were sitting under the pavilion in the backyard eating barbecue and drinking beer.

I don’t know why, but I like to eat barbecue with beer. Normally, winter should be the season for drinking white wine, but in Zhou Xun’s opinion, white wine seems to be a bit incompatible with the style of barbecue!

Winter in Kyoto.

It was snowing heavily outside at this time.

In such a temperature, the beer in my hand instantly became ice beer.

Fortunately, everyone is an expert with strong bodies, otherwise, everyone would have to go to the hospital the next day.

Just when everyone was eating happily, Dongfang came over wearing a white winter windbreaker, a blue sweater underneath, blue tights, and black boots.

When Zhou Xun heard footsteps and looked up, he was greeted by a strong royal demeanor. The superior aura was even colder than the snowflakes outside.

In such an atmosphere, even if there is a pair of straight and long legs, I am afraid few people would dare to peek.

Seeing Dongfang coming, Zhou Xun pointed to the empty seat and said, "Sit down and eat quickly!"

"Have you finished everything over there?"

Dongfang sat down, picked up a skewer of lamb and took a bite. "Everything has been arranged. The patient has been transferred to our hospital, and the attending physician has also been arranged."

"Three days for examination, and surgery will begin three days later!"

"Mm, so spicy!" Zhou Xun took a few deep breaths, then took a few gulps of beer and felt much better: "Great, barbecue in winter must be spicy, haha!"

"I think, from now on, we have to eat hotpot and barbecue outside. It's so cool to eat in the snow!" Taotie said vaguely while eating with big mouthfuls.

...

"You are such a glutton. Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch the food from you!" Seeing the glutton's eating manner, Shirley Yang rolled her eyes at him.

"The whole roasted lamb is ready!" shouted the chef of the palace.

"Give me a leg of lamb!" Taotie shouted, raising his hand.

Seeing Taotie eating so happily, Zhou Xun also smiled happily, then turned to Dongfang and said, "I'm at ease with you doing the work. You have to help me with one more thing after dinner!"

"........."

Then Zhou Xun talked about the imperial seal and the things that needed to be done next.

"Okay, no problem. Let's set the time as three days later. Let's set the location at our manor in the suburbs. As for the list of names, I have it here."

Dongfang was worthy of being a queen, and she immediately decided on the time and place.

Zhou Xun glanced at Dongfang with satisfaction. He had to admit that having such a housekeeper and secretary really saved him a lot of trouble.

The most important thing is to rest assured!

After everything was explained, everyone focused on roasting the whole lamb.

The whole family happily ate in the snowy evening.

Ps:

Please give me flowers, monthly tickets and evaluation votes at the beginning of the month!

The more the better!

Don’t miss it if you pass by.

Thanks for your support!!!

Chapter 763: A Great Antique Gathering

Three days later!

afternoon!

It is still snowing heavily.

In a manor outside Kyoto!

The manor that Zhou Xun used as a temporary residence for Qinglong Security in the early days has now changed a lot. After Zhou Xun's renovation, it has become a top-notch luxury manor.

The parties where Jie Xiaohua became Zhou Xun's apprentice and his birthday were both held in this manor.

From then on, this manor has become the first choice for Zhou Xun's company for banquets, parties, or grand conference events!

Nowadays!

The manor became lively again.

Because today is the day when official, private, antique appraisers, and history experts from all over the country come together to appraise the long-lost national treasure, the imperial seal!

Hundreds of "207" highly respected masters with real talents and knowledge were now in the banquet hall of the manor, watching the chaos over the imperial seal and making a lot of noise.

Among them, there are many elderly people who are in their seventies, eighties, or even nineties. Now they are like children, spitting at people who have different opinions because of the results of their own decisions.

In the main seat!

Zhou Xun frowned as he watched the scene in front of him, feeling speechless.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

"All right!"

"Everyone be quiet, be careful of each other, and stay safe!"

"Please take a seat and have some tea. This is the Da Hong Pao tea from the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain. This is good tea. We cannot afford to waste it!"

Zhou Xun knocked on the table and shouted loudly.

Fortunately, after hearing Zhou Xun's words, the people present gave him face and quieted down. Then, when they heard that the tea in their cups was actually Dahongpao from the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, they picked up the cup lids and started drinking.

Although all those present were masters, and real masters, with plenty of money and their own collections, none of them had drunk the mother tree Dahongpao many times.

Apart from those in government offices, there are still some quotas, but not much.

Seeing that everyone started drinking tea and quieted down, Zhou Xun stood up and walked to the imperial seal and said, "Since I invited everyone here today, please verify it together."

"This clearly shows my opinion on this imperial seal. After all, if I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have summoned you all from all over the world to come here, especially since the New Year is coming soon."

"Imperial Seal............................................"

Next, Zhou Xun spoke for a full hour.

He told him everything he knew about the imperial seal and his thoughts on its appraisal.

Many of the masters present nodded involuntarily as they listened.

In fact, it is very simple now. All the masters present have examined the imperial seal. First of all, it has been confirmed that it is definitely an antique. Even the age is right, with a history of about two thousand years.

Moreover, after being tested by the masters present, it was confirmed that it was not fake or aged.

As for other anti-counterfeiting marks, styles, and jade quality, they are all the same as the imperial seal.

The reason why some masters present felt something was absolutely wrong was that they felt it was too sudden. The imperial seal that had been lost for so many years suddenly appeared, which was really hard to accept.

Another reason is that they still have no clue about the journey between the disappearance of the imperial seal and its sudden reappearance.

Even though Zhou Xun later asked Sun Dingguo, he wanted to ask him how his ancestors got the jade seal.

But because it had been so long, Sun Dingguo didn't know the answer to any of the questions!

...........................................

night!

After an afternoon of communication among hundreds of official and folk masters, everyone's appraisal results have come out and have been unified.

The result is that this imperial seal is real!

It is the one that Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si to carve using the Heshi Bi!

Finally, hundreds of masters and Zhou Xun signed the certificate for this imperial seal, and everyone left their names... 0

Ballroom!

Zhou Xun ordered his men to arrange countless delicious food and fine wines!

Even in order to take care of the age and health of some masters, a lot of light meals and top-quality teas were arranged!

The masters each found their old friends, and sat down in groups of three or five to eat, drink and communicate.

at this time!

Zhou Xun was having dinner and communicating with official leaders.

"Thank you for your selfless contribution in finding this long-lost national treasure of our China and donating it. Here, on behalf of the government, I'll drink this glass to thank you. Cheers!"

The leader raised a small glass full of liquor and said to Zhou Xun.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do as a Chinese. In fact, the biggest reason I donated it is because I think this imperial seal has gone through many dynasties in our ancient times and witnessed the changes of dynasties in our ancient country. It has become a dynasty treasure of our Chinese people. I hope that this imperial seal can suppress the destiny of our country after thousands of years, so that our country can be peaceful and prosperous in the future!"

Zhou Xun tactfully explained the power of the imperial seal.

After saying that, he raised his glass and clinked glasses with the leader, then drank it all in one gulp.

The leader was stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Xun to say that. With his current status, he was considered a senior executive, so he naturally understood some of the meaning of Zhou Xun's words.

Moreover, given his status, he did know some things that ordinary people did not know, including the mysterious Zhouyi Bagua.

Things like predicting the future, or fortune-telling, may not exist among the common people, and even if they do, most of them are scammers. But in the government, there are indeed records of such people!

In this case, the theory of destiny, although vague, now seems to be believed. The leader thought about it carefully for a few seconds, and his expression became more serious. With some thought, the leader finished the wine in the glass.

Chapter 764 My Family Owns a Bank

"Do you know something? Could you tell me in detail?" The leader put down his wine glass and asked curiously.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly: "It's unspeakable, unspeakable, some things exist if you believe them, and don't exist if you don't believe them!"

Zhou Xun didn't want to expose his entire self to the public, so he just gave a subtle hint this time because of the importance of the imperial seal.

Seeing that Zhou Xun didn't say anything, the leader didn't ask any further questions.

...........................................

The party passed quickly and it was time to leave.

Except for the experts from Kyoto who chose to return home, the other masters who were selected were taken to the Tang and Song Building by cars arranged by Zhou Xun.

In addition to the top floor which operates the Tang Song Auction House, many other floors of the Tang Song Building also operate as five-star hotels.

after an hour.

After all matters and guests in the manor were arranged, Zhou Xun and Dongfang got in a Rolls-Royce and drove to the palace.

Inside the car!

Zhou Xun sat in the back seat and handed the wooden box containing the imperial seal to Dongfang: "I have already told the government leaders that this imperial seal will be exhibited in our Qin and Han Dynasty Museum for a month."
